From fashion editors to business professionals, socialites to hip moms – women love Chaiken. Designer, Julie Chaiken is passionate about the clothes she makes and the women who wear them. Her lifestyle-inspired collection of fashion forward, sensuous and truly wearable clothing has a loyal and fashionable following.

Julie established the first collection in 1994, putting her instantly on the map with fashion’s most amazing fitting pants. While her pants have become a Chaiken signature, her label has evolved into a full ready-to-wear collection that spans sportswear, outerwear, maternity, swim, and evening dresses. Chaiken has a faithful following of sexy, stylish, strong women of all ages, united by a universal desire – to look good and feel good. These sophisticated women include celebrity devotees like Angelina Jolie, Reese Witherspoon, Brooke Shields, and Oprah Winfrey. All pieces in each collection embrace Julie’s own philosophy of how to dress.
“Any Woman should simply feel great in what she’s wearing,” says Julie.

“I think: What would she want to wear to work today? To dinner later? ” And therein lies the real appeal of Chaiken clothes: they fit real bodies, real lives and real personal style. Julie understands her customer because she is her customer. Take the inspiration behind Chaiken Profile: Every woman has favorite fits and cuts that never go out of style thus, Chaiken Profile developed signature silhouettes and styles in a variety of alternative fabrics and colors.

The same concept was behind the creation of Chaiken Maternity. When celebrities and friends came to her asking for maternity designs, Julie found inspiration in her own life. Now a mother of two, she created modified versions of the key styles for each season. “You don’t give up your personal style just because you get pregnant.”
The Chaiken lifestyle brand is growing in new and exciting directions. Check back soon to see what’s next from Julie.
